Depression Counselling in Grande Prairie, AB.

Depression affects many individuals at some point in their lives. Not only can depression affect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, it can also impact the body physically. Lisa uses a variety of approaches to treat depression, including Hypnotherapy and EMDR. Treatment of depression is not a one-size-fit all protocol, and therefore it is important to implement an approach that is custom tailored to individual client needs.

Our thinking and our behaviors can have a significant impact on our mood. Learning to understand the core beliefs that we carry and how they cause us to engage in distorted thinking can make a difference to our mood and joy in life. Changing our actions, can impact how we feel. Motivation and energy are low - making change difficult! Work with me to determine the best ways to get you back to a point of experiencing joy.

In our sessions, we will explore the factors that contribute to feelings of depression and low mood and practice skill-building. We can learn to identify and shift the thinking patterns, accept and process our emotions, and detach ourselves from any expectations that may be keeping us stuck. We can also learn new ways to relate to ourselves and support ourselves through depression.

Depression is on the rise in not only Canada but around the world. There a variety of reasons why this is - I have come to believe its the rise of a society that is busy and not taking care of themselves emotionally and physically. We are focused on the future and not enough on the present. Counselling allows a person to slow down and be in the present. People can then receive care and support as they walk through their feelings, thoughts and stories of their life.

Research has clearly demonstrated that mindfulness-based approaches to depression are so powerful that they can reduce the chances of having a relapse by 50%! That's a big deal. A depressed mind is busy creating all kinds of negative thoughts. Mindfulness-based therapy will teach you a new way to relate to your thoughts. You don't have to believe everything you think! Especially the bad stuff, becuse it's often not true.

Depression takes a toll on many fronts: it saps energy, generates low self-worth, creates problems in relationships, diminishes productivity and generally obscures the positive aspects of life. To make it even worse, many suffer in silence, feeling it's their fault. Well it's not. Like most afflictions, depression can usually lift with the right treatment. A combination of psychotherapy and appropriate medications usually has the best results. Please don't suffer alone.
